## Description

A mattress upgrade shouldn't require a second job. The Lucid® 12-Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress delivers a premium sleep experience without the premium price, available in Medium Plush or Medium Firm. The Medium Plush version features cooling gel and refreshing bamboo charcoal infused memory foam that contours closely to the hips, shoulders, and back, a medium plush mattress built to cushion pressure points and give side sleepers the sink-in comfort they want. The Medium Firm version balances that same comfort layer against a solid high-density support base—a medium firm mattress versatile enough for back sleepers who need lumbar support and side sleepers who still want pressure relief. Both include a transition layer and are compatible with adjustable bases. This mattress is safely made in the USA with global and U.S. parts, including CertiPUR-US certified foam independently tested for content, emissions, and durability. It's designed with you and your family in mind, this mattress is fiberglass free and has safely passed all flammability testing in U.S. laboratories. This memory foam mattress is backed by a 10-year limited warranty. A convenient mattress in a box ships easily and works with any flat surface, no box spring needed. Available in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and California King.

Review: Firm, but soft in pressure areas. Highly Recommended. Great Support. - This bed is a lot firmer than we're used to, but it only took a few nights to get used to it. We slept on one at a friend's house and had a good night's sleep, so when I got home, I put this in my desertcart Cart. Fast forward 2 or 3 years later, and when it was time for a new mattress, I made the purchase. Arrived quickly, and was easy to unpackage and place on my existing box springs. I was a little restless the first night because I was simply not used to the firmness. The second night was much better. It seems like every night after that has gotten better. I feel like it is much better for my neck and back than our old mattress (which was a high-end name brand but 12-15 years old). For a while now, I have been feeling pretty crummy every morning upon waking. I must say, I don't really have that feeling anymore, and feel much better in the morning. I feel like I'm getting much better rest at night with less tossing and turning. It's firm, but it's still comfortable and soft on the pressure areas. I would highly recommend this mattress, and I hope they continue to make it because I would like to buy another when this one gets old.
Review: Great Quality, Good Comfort, Affordable Price!! Plush is a little too plush for me though... - GREAT mattress for the price! Mattresses arrived safely and vacuumed sealed. No bad off gassing smells! I've purchases three of these within the past 6 months. The first two I purchased in January of 2026. So far so good! I used each with the Tami Tami power adjustable base with no issues. Only time will tell how they hold up in 5 years. I will say that if I had to do it again I would probably opt for the firmer version as the plush sinks a little too much for my liking depending on mine and my wife's sleeping position. They are very easy to set up. For the price, I would DEFINITELY recommend them!! We're really hoping they hold up for at least 5 years... we'll see.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What profile height should I get?**
A: The 5" and 6" are firmer for teens, guest rooms, & RVs. The 8" and 10” have multiple feels for universal appeal. The 12" is medium plush or medium firm for guest bedrooms and side sleepers. The 14" is medium plush or medium firm for master bedrooms.

**Q: What do bamboo charcoal and cooling gel do?**
A: Bamboo charcoal and cooling gel are infused in the foam. Bamboo charcoal is naturally hypoallergenic and may help capture odors and moisture. Cooling gel helps regulate temperature since memory foam has a tendency to sleep hot.

**Q: Do I need to use a box spring with this mattress?**
A: No. All our mattresses were designed to lay on any flat foundation without a box spring. Place your mattress directly on an adjustable base, flat frame, or upholstered platform base and you’re good to go!

**Q: Should I use a mattress protector?**
A: Yes! Mattress protectors extend the life of your mattress and create a cleaner sleep environment.

**Q: Will my mattress come in a box?**
A: Our mattresses arrive compressed and rolled in a box, making them easy to move. Open it in a convenient spot (near its final destination) and let it decompress for 24-72 hours. Moving the mattress is more difficult after it has decompressed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big Man Review! (Update 1 year)
*by K***F on August 18, 2023*

I’m a big man, built like a WWF wrestler. Imagine The Rock with a dad bod gut. I’m a stomach and side sleeper. I’ve been on this mattress for a month now. I got the plush 14’ king size thinking it would be on super soft cloud mode. Plush is a softer medium, softer top but rightfully firm in the middle. There is no bounce to it when you slap it or elbow drop the bed. It absorbs energy, so if your sleeping next to someone you can jump out the bed harder than a Barbarian late for a raid and will not disturb the person next to you. I had 2 different spring mattress for the last 20 years and both of them every so often had my lower back HURTING and hamstrings sore when I woke up. This eliminates that issue completely. The bed conforms to your entire body. No pressure points, keeps your back straight, side straight, and it creates a nice pot hole for your gut if your sleeping on your stomach. Pretty sweet. I used to wake up often to toss and turn and to roll over. This is the first bed for the first time in 20 years I wake up in the same position I feel asleep in for an entire 7-8 hours. No aches, no soreness, no pains and I wake up feeling “aligned”. I get out the bed do alittle basic morning stretch and feel great. I’ve beat my body up from physically working too hard and old exercising injures, this is a well worth it mattress for a big man who needs real support. Now the bed does get softer over time the more you sleep on it I guess it has a long break in period, that’s the only reason I knocked a star off. So if you have back any problems, ham string tightness, feel crooked in other mattresses , in need of a supportive bed, or a big man like me who needs to be cuddled by the mattress, get this. If this was the 3 bears this ain’t mama bears bed in terms of softness, definitely no where near papas, but certainly just right. One year update: oh yeah it’s broken in, takes 6 months before you have to rotate your bed. Now this whole bed is broken in and is more comfortable than ever. It definitely is plush but it takes time. I can see this mattress lasting 10 years easy.
